Performance
Twin Digital VRM design leverages 16 VCORE phases and 70A Power Stage to ensure electrical throughput that can handle Intel Core, Pentium, and Celeron processors as well as extreme overclocking. DDR5 XMP overclocking boosts RAM up to 8266 MHz for enhanced multitasking and rendering performance.
Power Delivery
GIGABYTE Z790 Aorus Elite X AX features a twin 16+1+2 phases digital VRM solution with 70A Smart Power Stages. This means that the motherboard has 31 power phases in total, which is more than enough to power even the most demanding processors. The Smart Power Stages are also more efficient than traditional MOSFETs, which helps to reduce heat output and improve overall performance.
 
Enhanced Thermal Design
Designed to maintain thermal performance and prevent system throttling, the AORUS ELITE X AX’s fully covered VRM Thermal Armor Advanced heat sink, M.2 Thermal Guard L, 8-layer copper PCB, 7 W/mK Thermal Pad, and 8mm heatpipe work together to ensure that onboard components are safe under heavy loads. Smart Fan6 application gives users the ability to monitor and operate connected fans to assist with cooling capabilities.
Networking
The Z790 AORUS ELITE X AX features a 2.5GbE LAN port and Wi-Fi 7 with Ultra-high gain antenna. The 2.5GbE LAN port provides up to 2.5x faster speeds than standard Gigabit Ethernet ports, while the Wi-Fi 7 provides up to 3.2x faster speeds than Wi-Fi 6. The Ultra-high gain antenna helps to improve signal strength and range.
Front Panel USB-C Connector
The USB 3.2 Gen 2 port has a throughput up to 10 Gb/s while connected to USB 3.2 compliant peripherals. With the USB Type-C connector, users can enjoy the flexibility of a reversible connection to access and store massive amounts of data rapidly.
Personalization & Customization
With an array of RGB headers, you can use GIGABYTE’s RGB Fusion and Control Center software to customize your rig with a wide range of colors and lighting effects, turning your rig into the centerpiece of your gaming room. UEFI BIOS settings can be easily accessed and allow you to fine-tune your performance profile according to your needs. A multi-key function reset button can be reconfigured to other functions within the BIOS to meet different user scenarios such as acting as an RGB switch, boot directly to BIOS, and enable Safe Mode.
Ultra Durable
Sporting an easy DIY design, the AORUS ELITE X AX provides you with several enhancements that make the installation of components a breeze. PCIe EZ-Latch provides quick access to your M.2 storage drives and Q-Flash Plus enables you to update the BIOS settings with only a few power cables, RAM, and processor. You also get PCIe UD Slot X, M.2 UD Slot PG4, and UD Power Connector, adding more flexibility and utility to your system.
